LG will demo its vision of what transparent screens will look like and how they will make invisible TVs.
LG is moving ahead with its ambitious plan to make TVs invisible. The display arm of the company, LG Display is keen on making invisible televisions using transparent OLED displays, which it will showcase at the upcoming virtual congregation called Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2021. The company has unveiled a “smart bed” that uses a TV entertainment system comprising a 55-inch transparent screen as a TV that becomes invisible when not turned on. The LG “smart bed” will have the transparent OLED display on the foot, which will rise from inside the bed at a click of a button. This module can even be repositioned according to user preference. There will be no backlighting since this is a transparent screen, and for the audio, there is Cinematic Sound OLED (CSO) that the screen will belt out without needing separate speakers. Apart from serving as a TV screen, this 55-inch model, however, will have more purposes, according to LG Display. LG wants to use this 55-inch OLED screen in restaurants (of course when the pandemic situation improves) wherein customers will be able to watch TV while their order is being prepared. Think of it like a system where orders are placed and while customers wait programmes are displayed and when the order is ready, some ticker or snipper might appear on the same screen to inform them.
